The following are extracts : " PARIS, AUG. 26.—Yesterday, at l I o'clock, the Ambassadors, the Foreign Ministers, &c. paid their respects to the King and Royal Family on the occasion of the Fite of Saint Louis. They afterwards assisted at the inauguration of the Statue of Henry the Fourth. At twelve his Majesty left the Thuilleries to review the troops. Soon after two the King artived on the platform elected opposite the statue of Henry Fourth. Au immense crowd of persons of all ranks were present. His Majesty being seated on a Throne, surrounded by the Princes, Prin cesses, &c. the Statue was uncovered• amidst salvoes of artillery, and the Committee hay log ranged themselves opposite the Throne, the Marquis Barbs de Marbois delivered an address appropriate to the occasion, to which the King returned a most gracious answer. The troops de filed between the King and the Statue, after which his Majesty returned to the Thuilleries. " In consequence of the advices front Algiers, stating the ❑►ild conduct of the new Dey (already made known) and the dismantling the pirate vessels, the Anti-pirate Institution is about to cease its labours: " The Count Corvetto is entirely recovered, but he must remain some time longer in the Country. " Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, the Municipal Body of Paris assembled at the hotel of the Prefect of the Seine, to inaugurate the portrait of the King, painted by Robert Lefevre, and presented by the King to his good City of Paris. " Accounts from Ghent, dated the 22:1 inst., say—' Their Royal - Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived hele yesterday evening from Calais with a numerous suite.' " VIENNA, AUG. 16.—The day before yester day a foreigner, who had recently arrived at Baden (near this city), was arrested and con veyed to the Town-house, where he underwent an interrogatory. He is said to be a Pole of dis tiiiction, who has been arrested at the instance of the Russian Minister. " FR A NKFURT, AUG. 18.—Prince Blucher con tinues ill at Carlsbad, and unable to quit his apartments. " ZURICH', AUG. 17.—The Directorial Govern ment has comtnunicatcd by circular to the re spective Cantons that Mr. Canning, the British :Minister, had made known that his Royal High ness the Duke of Gloucester will visit Switzerland during the autumn." We have inserted this day the whole of The Supplementary Gazette, which wes published last night. It gives a detailed account of those mili tary operations in India, which have been attend e,! with such important advantages, as we before stated, and which reflect so much honour on the Governor-General and all the Officers who hlve been concerned in the several gallant enterprizes. We refer our Readers to The Gazette itself, as it renders all comments arid eulogiums on our part wholly superfluous ; and we have only to ex press our hopes that the valour of our Arms, and t h e (V iC(10111 this t marks our Asiatic Government, y be attended with the full restoration of peace and security. The Resolution of the General Assembly of Krntilcky, in favour of the South Americßn Re volters, which we, insert this day, is an event tbf the greAt est importance to their cause, for it it should be followed by similar Resolutions ►leroughout the United St3tel . , they will of course he sopri.ed wish evrry thing necessary for re!,ist ance, and the ;Mother Country 001st soon give up the contest. Tilt? FUNDF..—The state of the Money Market has bdtome truly.. alarming. The unfavourable reports of * 1 difference existing between the Mini sters and the Bank of England, respecting the latter refusing to take the Exchequer .I.3iHs, and that an equipment of 10 frigates was expeliting, had the effect of depressing the Funds full 1 per cent. ; Coni,ols for the Account opened this morning at 74, but advanced to 74.1, with an ap pearance of a very heavy market. The Jews, who were considered principally Bulls, have all been selling tins morning to an immense amount, and the panic has also extended to the Public generally. It would be very bard indeed that Ministers should he blamed for the errors of their advocates, and the case would be still harder if the blame did not come from The Morning Chronicle, which;' luckily, is so well known for its rancour against Government that its censure is treated by the public at large with indifference, if not contempt. It appears, according to the statement in The Chronicle, that an Evening Paper, which has hitherto been stiled Ministerial, in defending the appointment of the Commissioners to effect the purposes of Mr. BROUGHAM'S Act, had urged, that one ground for the selection of those Com missioners was, " their hostility to the Bill—and their determination to disbelieve in the existence of abuses." We appeal to the common sense of mankind whether, having the eyes of the Nation 'Ton them, Ministers would have selected the Commissioners on the alleged grounds, or whether, having done so, they would be so impolitic as to desire any' of their supposed advocates to defend the appointment on those grounds.— The idea involves the grossest folly, and we therefore are inclined to suspect that The Chronicle, which cannot possibly believe that Ministers could have dictated such a mode of defence, is insidiously attempting to injure the Evening Paper' in question, either in sheaving, by the indiscreet manner in which it supports the measures of Government, that it is wholly unfit to be its advocate, or that in reality it has nopre tensions to be considered as a Ministerial Paper, since it. is absolutely impossible that Ministers could have suggested such grounds of vindication. But we have the satisfaction to state that, instead of requiring defence, Ministers dzserve the approbation of the Country, for the choice which they have made of the Commissioners in question. We had the pleasure to submit a list of them to our Readers this day se'nnight, and we then confidently asked " if a more respectable body of Commissioners could be found th rolloout the Empire." We defy the malice of Faction to urge any thing against one individual of this list, and we are persuaded that when the public reflect upon the character of each, they will readily acknow ledge that Ministers could have no other purpose in view than the appointment of such honourable. Persons as were fully qualified to make the re quisite inquiries with vigilance, and to report the result with the most scrupulous fidelity. KEW, AUG. 28.—Yesterday evening the PRINCE REGENT arrived from the Stud-house, and after staying some tirne with the QUEEN returned to the Stud-house. Sir FRANCAS MILMAN left this morning, and returned in the afternoon. Tu. QUEEN.—The above paragraph was the only account the Court Circular of last night con tained respecting the QUEIsN, no Report of the state of her Majesty's health yesterday having been nr4de public. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the Earl of HAaßowuy, the Earl of LIVERPOOL, Lord CASTLEREAGII, &C. The Duke of YORK was called our of the Stand, at Epsom Races, on• Thursday, by Lord ST. HELENS, and his Royal Highness left the course in great haste. The King of FRANCE has presented the Duke of CAMBRIDGE with a superb enamelled tea-tray, with a gold border in fillagree, and a pair of matchless vases of Sevres PoteelAin, after the antique. Tuesday a Deputation of several Gentlemen from the Corporation of the City of London pro ceeded t►o Kew, where they ws•aited ,on General TAYLOR, for the purpoe of offering the City State Barge to convey her MAJESTY to Windsor, they having understood from the public papers that her MAJESTY expressed a wish to be conveyed thither by water; Thursday an answer was re ceived at Guildhall from General TAYLOR, con . - veying her MAJESTY'S most gracious thanks for the offer, and informing them at the same time, that her MAJESTY had never expressed such an in tention. LEICESTER ASSIZES.-This morning., about 10 o'clock, the whole of the Crinduals convicted at the last Leicester Assizes passed through London on their way to Woolwich, where a vessel is getting in readiness for the conveyance to Botany Bay of the difirent Convicts whose period of transportation is of 14 years and upwards. •ro CORRESPONDENTS.

HOP INTELLIGENCE. WoRcEsTEi a, AUG, 26.—The appearance of our Hop• yards at this moment is beautiful, almost be yond example, the cleanness of the plant and the size of be Hop never having been exceeded. The Daly of the Kingdom varies between 130 and 135,0001. Since our last, the prices have conside rably declined ; very good samples may now be bad here at 161. A correspondent remat ks, " Growers should be careful to give the [lops this year time on the kilns ; for want of such attention in the year 1765 (when after a dry summer the plant came rapidly forward, as at this time) more 'lops were returned unsound than for the last 40 years." Private Letters have been received from the Northern Expedition, under Captain Ross, dated the Bth of July, in tat 74. The two ships were then off a remarkable point of land, called by BAFFIN the Devil's Thunib ; but the letters state no other particulars then that all was well, and that they were at the moment of writing im peded in their progress by the ice. We understand that the other expedition, under Captain Buc HAN, was seen by a whaler on the Silt of July, fast to the ice, in a latitude short of SO. We understand the name of the whaler is the Vigilant, of Lon don ; but we have not beard any further particu lars. The Duke of WELLINGTON has taken a house at Brussels, opposite to the jet d'eau, constructed by Bauce, the traveller, (luting his residence in that city. The Duke and Duchess of ARGYLL, and family, left town a few days since for the Continent. On the Ist of March last, there was a tremen dous storm at Port Louis, Mauritius. Houses were blown down, trees torn out by the roots, plantations destroyed, and great numbers of peo ple buried tinder the ruins of their own dwellings. Us toN- H At.r..—Yesterday Mr. Thomas Hussey, bookseller, at Peckham, the brother of Charles Hussey, the murderer, preferred a charge against Mr. James Godwin, his brother-in-law, with as saulting him, repeatedly threatening him, and with charging hint with being an accessary in the murder and robbery of Mr. Bird and his housekeeper, at Greenwich. Mr. Serjeant SCLLON recommended the parties to endeavour to settle their grievances without his inter ference, anti not expose themselves to the public, as he understood it was a family affair.— After a good deal of recrimination on both sides, the Magistrate ordered the warrant not to he discharged, but to remain in force in the officer's hands, and to be executed immediately if an offence should be committed by either party. The Magistrate said, that his decision did not preclude Mr. Hussey from indicting Mr. God win for the assault at the Sessions, if he thought proper ; but he recommended them to drop all further proceedings.
